Danny Jones and Maura Higgins’ I’m A Celeb campmate Melvin Odoom shuts down Susanna Reid in awkward GMB appearance

Danny Jones and Maura Higgins’ I’m A Celebrity campmate Melvin Odoom has weighed in on their recent BRITs kiss.

Melvin experienced an extremely awkward appearance on Good Morning Britain today (March 17), as he was grilled over the scandal involving his I’m A Celebrity pals.

Danny and Maura were spotted sharing a ‘drunken kiss’ at the BRITs after-party earlier this month. Since then, Danny’s relationship with his wife has been in crisis. Last night, it was claimed that Georgia has moved out of the family home.

And today, Melvin was asked about the scandal as he appeared on GMB…

Melvin Odoom weighs in on Danny Jones and Maura Higgins’ kiss

The 44 year old is temporarily replacing Richard Arnold as showbiz correspondent on the ITV morning show. And before he could even begin looking at the celebrity news for the day, Susanna Reid wanted to know his thoughts on the scandal.

As Susanna began questioning him, Melvin interrupted her. He said: “First of all, you guys don’t hold back.”

TV presenter Susanna agreed, adding: “Straight in with the hard stories. You know what, it has been on the front of The Sun this morning. And has been developing for a few days.”

She then turned her attention directly to Melvin: “You were in the jungle with both Danny and Maura.”

But Melvin clearly didn’t want to answer the line of questioning and he awkwardly tried to avoid the topic, shutting her down.

It’s not my business. That’s it. That is all I’m saying on it.

He responded: “Well look. The thing is, we have all got a WhatsApp group. And we all got on in the jungle. The other day it was Danny’s birthday and we all wished him a happy birthday.

“In regards to this story – it’s not my business. That’s it. That is all I’m saying on it,” he then added.

When Susanna’s co-host Richard Madeley praised him for his “civilised response”, Melvin also said: “Thank you very much. I got on with everybody. They are lovely guys and I wish them all the best.”

Georgia moves out after scandal

The latest news comes as it’s reported that Georgia has moved out of the family home. As a result, she is now living with best friend Rose Mahon.

The couple have been married for 10 years and share a young son. And, while Georgia has been snapped still wearing her wedding ring, it seems she is taking some time away from Danny to figure out the next steps.

A source alleged: “They’re not together and she is working out what she wants to do. She has been hugely hurt and embarrassed by everything.”

As a result, she’s “told Danny she needed to get away”.
